Chapter 423 Reinforcement? Dream?

In the playoffs, he averaged 46.6 points, 10.5 assists, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game.

In the finals, he averaged 55 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game.

He even scored the highest 69 points and the second-highest 66 points in NBA finals history.

The extremely gorgeous data shines throughout the world.

No one could have imagined that this would be the answer a rookie would give in his debut season. Even the basketball god at his peak had never performed like this before.

Basketball people all over the world suddenly realized at this moment that the NBA has changed, and so has world basketball...

This young man did not go to the NBA to experience, that guy came to conquer the NBA and break the world basketball pattern!

Its impact on the entire world of basketball has already exceeded the superficial noise.

As for the Dragon Country Basketball Association, Lao Li now has complete control over the Basketball Association because of his contribution to promoting Lin Dong.

And because of Lin Dong's experience in Japan, Lao Li knows the most about the current changes in Japanese basketball.

Not only has youth training been strengthened through cooperation with the NBA, but various youth training competitions have also been promoted through television broadcasts, such as the Summer High School League and the Winter High School League. Even the Aki no Kuni Sports, which the Japanese people once paid little attention to, has become a national carnival. The feast, coupled with Sakuragi Hanamichi's star-making activities, set off unprecedented basketball passion in Japan, causing the number of registered basketball players in Japan to hit record highs one after another, reaching an astonishing 1.2 million.

What this brought about was the rise of Japanese basketball. In last year's Busan Asian Games, although they lost to the Dragon Kingdom with Yao Ming, they also defeated South Korea and won the runner-up, and the score was quite large.

Although the Dragon Kingdom is still stabilizing Japan, Lao Li knows very well that Japan’s current basketball youth training model is more mature, advanced and more effective. If you want the Dragon Kingdom to continue to be behind Lin Dong and Yao Ming, then you have to Learn from other people's good things.

Learn from the foreigners and learn skills to control the foreigners. Our ancestors have taught this a long time ago.

Although the original sports school model of Dragon Kingdom is more conducive to cultivating elites, in the absence of a national foundation, it is just a trick to encourage growth, and it has no ability to withstand troughs. In a word, if basketball geniuses are to be cultivated on the land of China, If they appear in an endless stream, you must ensure a large enough base.

The Dragon Country has a population of 1.4 billion, but the Basketball Association only has more than 20,000 registered players. However, Japan has a population of 100 million but has a full 1.2 million registered players. With such a base, one day the generation of Yao Ming and Lin Dong will not be able to compete. If it moves, sooner or later Longguo basketball will be surpassed by Japan.

As the leader of Dragon Country Basketball, you should not only think about the current glory and achievements...

Therefore, thanks to Lao Li's power and the current basketball craze across the country due to Lin Dong and Yao Ming, the General Administration of Sports opened up financial support to the Basketball Association, so Longguo also launched a vigorous basketball reform. .

The first is to cooperate with the NBA's youth training, Nike training camp, Adidas training camp, and the NBA's lower leagues, and even various exchange games to enhance exchanges with colleges and universities across the United States.

Qualifications are distributed to colleges and universities across the country, and a league system with high bonuses is organized to select winners. At the same time, the entry threshold for the Basketball Association has been relaxed. Anyone who has participated in more than 10 games in national competitions can apply to enter the basketball team. Association, enjoy various rights and interests, while expanding various naming rights, attracting commercial funds while also expanding the influence of the event, etc.

Of course, similar activities like this naturally require some support and assistance in terms of momentum to continue to maintain the national enthusiasm for basketball. This depends on the superstars.

The Asian Championships in August 2003 was an opportunity.

The Basketball Association had invited Lin Dong during the Asian Games last year. Yao Ming went there, but Lin Dong chose to refuse because he had just joined the SuperSonics and wanted to participate in the first summer training and integrate into the team.

Some clichés of the Basketball Association at the time were very dissatisfied with this, but after all, there was an old Li above him, who had personally made a promise to Lin Dong. In addition to the Olympics, Lin Dong could refuse to participate in other national team events, so he arranged The public opinion was so suppressed that almost no media in the country deliberately mentioned Lin Dong's failure to return to the team.

As for this Asian Championship, although the gold content of the event is relatively lower than that of the Asian Games, to further promote Dragon Country basketball, Lao Li shamelessly called Lin Dong himself.

Frankly speaking, in the Asian Championships or something like that, when there are Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and others, whether Lin Dong goes or not will not affect the result.

But Lin Dong knew that Lao Li had already been attacked for the last Asian Games, and this time it was for the future of Longguo basketball, so naturally he readily agreed.

The group stage that started at the beginning of August ended at the end of September, less than two months ago.

In the current Asian Championships, Lin Dong seems to have little intensity and challenge, not to mention that he is still partnering with Yao Ming. Quan should be able to adapt to the team of teammates in next year's Olympics in advance.

However, the schedule will be quite full.

The NBA Finals ended in early July. I only rested in Seattle for about half a month before rushing to the Dragon Kingdom to participate in the national team training. Fortunately, I have the second-generation McDavid knee pads. Otherwise, with this continuous schedule, Even the donkeys in the production team dare not use it like this.

It's just a bit pitiful for Dayao, dragging a body that is more than 30 kilograms heavier than himself, without the protection of his own external knee pads. It's no wonder that his peak period in another world was so short.

In terms of points, after playing the Lakers in G5, they already had 3805 points. After that, they beat the Spurs and the Wizards, and got another 800 points for 8 wins, 4605 points. The NBA championship has a full 1000 points, and now the points have reached 5605 points.

According to the level and schedule of the Asian Championships, winning all the way through the group stage and winning the championship will probably only yield about 1,000 points, which is better than nothing.

In fact, from the moment he climbed to the top, Lin Dong no longer bothered to use physical potions and the like because of his ability to see all the mountains on his own.

For him, this thing is more like a prop to test his state of mind, and it is also the key to using this sublimation of his state of mind to help him break through State 3.

But McDavid's knee pads are necessary to ensure that he is not injured, which is a top priority for any player.

What's more, the third generation has the effect of protecting the whole body, which is like a gold medal to avoid death. It may even be able to ward off diseases... Thinking of the sudden thymoma in his previous life, Lin Dong still has a lot of desire for the third generation knee pads.

If you get it earlier, you will always feel more at ease.

Lin Dongdao never mentioned the championship ring bet with Jordan in front of the public and the media.

After all, he is the god of basketball and has guided his own sunshine. Lin Dong still has a lot of respect for Jordan in his heart.

I heard that the guy went to Hawaii for a vacation with his wife and children. When he comes back, if he can remember, he will send him the championship ring. But if Jordan can't remember or wants to default on the bill, that's up to him, but it's just It just makes me lose a little respect for the so-called god of basketball.

The half-month vacation passed by in a flash. Lin Dong quietly returned to China, but Yang Dong did not follow him.

On the one hand, the Dragons in this Asian Championship have Lin Dong and Yao Ming. This is already a lineup that can compete for the top three in the Olympic Games. There is no pressure to play in the Asian Championship, and there are no variables at all. It is probably a continuous line. A competition that can’t even be described as intense.

Secondly, there are too many things going on with the Sonics in the offseason.

Having just won the championship, Key Arena is under renovation again. Yang Dong has to keep an eye on the construction period; at the same time, Bob has already spotted several reinforcement players and will soon take advantage of the summer trade market to bring them to the team. A wave of blood exchange.

Of course, the main body of the team that just won the championship basically does not plan to change. After all, even if we look at the entire history of the NBA, there are few precedents of making big changes to the championship lineup.

Although Payton received two injections of blockade in succession, his heroic performance in G7 and his good recovery afterwards made him appear to be in good condition. The SuperSonics next season ultimately plans to continue to use Lin Dong, Payton, and Ying Ying. Konohanachi's god combination is the core to build the team.

Mainly to supplement outside shooters.

Bob is interested in Ray Allen of the Bucks, and wants to use anyone else except the god trio, plus two first-round picks in the next two years to complete the exchange with the Bucks, but it is a pity that the Bucks The deer are interested in Payton and Sakuragi Hanamichi, and want to exchange Ray Allen for Payton alone, or a combination of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Brent Barry.

This was obviously a condition that the Sonics could not agree to. After several negotiations failed, they had no choice but to give up.

Followed by Peja Stojakovic, as the new leader of the Kings and one of the best 3-point shooters in the league today, Bob originally did not dare to think about this general, but after all, Peja has just The data has declined due to injuries, and the Kings have repeatedly failed to make the playoffs. They also intend to rebuild the team, which also gives this historical-level marksman the best value for money.

It's a pity that the Sonics no longer have a good first-round pick in the past two years, and the Kings wanted to trade Payton alone because they couldn't negotiate the conditions, so they had to give up.

In addition, there have been several obstacles. The Sonics now understand that all the teams in the league are thinking about how to break up the Sonics' God combination, regardless of whether it is valuable enough.

Otherwise, unless you can break up your original lineup, do you want to 'reinforce'? Just skip the discussion.

But Bob's helplessness was obviously not a problem for Lin Dong.

Can’t trade a valuable shooter? We can just choose ourselves... The rest period before returning to China happens to be the day of the 2003 draft.

Although many outstanding players from the original 2003 Platinum Generation entered the NBA ahead of schedule in the 2002 season, making this year's 2003 draft look like stars are fading, but no problem... Lin Dong knows there is a treasure.

With the 27th pick in the first round, the Sonics picked up a little-known guy.

Kyle Korver!
